Catcher in the Rye

Feelings about Jane

CATCHR-KNXTVE

I don't want you to think she was a goddamn​ icicle or something, just because we never necked or horsed around much… I held hands with her all of the time… that doesn't sound like much, but she was terrific to hold hands with... most girls... hand dies on you, or else they think they have to keep moving their hand all of the time... Jane was different.... wouldn't quit holding hands till the movie was over... you never worried, with Jane, whether your hand was sweaty or not. All you knew was, you were happy. You really were.

C

Jane is the type of girl Holden could see himself with in his future; she would provide the elements of a sound and grounded relationship.

D

Holden thinks Jane is too high-maintenance because she always wanted to hold his hand and be right next to him.

E

Holden values the fact that Jane is not like the other girls he knows; she doesn't seem to care about the same superficial things as the other girls their age.
